Analytical relations for convective core mass, variable-mu structure, and main-sequence end in intermediate-mass stars, with MESA validation.
Roche lobe overflow during gas giant destruction aligns stellar spins with orbits within tens of degrees regardless of starting conditions, offering an observable to differentiate this mechanism from high-eccentricity migration.
2D hydro simulations of a red giant star find that low-frequency mixed modes below 50 microhertz carry the largest kinetic energies, unlike empirical predictions peaking near nu_max, with surface velocities matching in the less-truncated run.
Primordial black holes captured by stars lead to either quiet consumption or explosive disruption via disk formation, producing transients and high-spin remnants with potentially observable event rates.
3D hydro simulations demonstrate that donor central concentration (ρ_c/ρ_bar) controls inspiral morphology and mass-ejection history in common-envelope events for luminous red novae.
Blue straggler stars in old open clusters exhibit a Kraft break in rotation, with rapid rotators above the break and slow rotators below, indicating their envelopes behave like those of single stars.
A coupled MESA-GYRE framework shows interior radiative damping of gravity waves dominates tidal evolution in TOI-5882, predicting a 2-6 fold reduction in engulfment timescale versus equilibrium tide models.
Simulations find nested bow shocks around an engulfed neutron star enhance drag force 10-100 times over Bondi-Hoyle-Lyttleton and allow force reversal based on envelope conditions.
MOFAT applied to SN2024ggi shows CO triggering inner SiO formation with a receding edge, order-of-magnitude mass drop, clumping signatures, and no dust formation.
Dynamic Time Warping with a shared warping path across parameters aligns binary stellar tracks for accurate interpolation while preserving physical relationships such as the Stefan-Boltzmann law.
A score-based diffusion generative model on deep infrared galaxy photometry yields a star formation rate density peaking at z=1.3 and shows distinct non-parametric star formation histories plus AGN activity peaking during the quenching transition of massive galaxies.
Dynamical tides exciting f-modes during high-eccentricity migration produce the hot Jupiter pile-up, Neptune ridge, and Neptune desert via orbital circularization and selective atmospheric mass loss.
New spectral models of solar-metallicity stellar populations using POSYDON show binary-stripped stars dominating ionizing radiation after about 16 Myr.
A complete classification of Gaia-selected hypervelocity candidates yields 10 D6 and 3 LP 40-365 stars, with forward modeling favoring intermediate-heating evolutionary scenarios and low birth rates relative to the SN Ia rate.
SN 2024abfl is a subluminous Type IIP event from a low-energy Fe-core collapse of a compact 9–10 M⊙ progenitor with only ~0.003 M⊙ of nickel.
Physics-based annual TSI reconstruction over three millennia yields a maximum difference of 1.04 W/m² in 50-year running means.
Blue straggler stars in old open clusters predominantly appear near the terminal-age main sequence because mass transfer from asymptotic giant branch donors enriches their cores with helium.
Deep NIR adaptive-optics imaging rules out a helium-star companion to the eclipsing millisecond pulsar PSR J1928+1815, favoring a massive white dwarf.
A new main-sequence evolution framework implemented in COMPAS yields more massive helium cores, more compact stripped-star radii, and systematically higher black-hole masses than standard prescriptions.
New MESA stellar tracks with varied winds and convective mixing produce a primary black hole mass function with twin peaks near 8 and 13 solar masses in most variations, the higher peak dominated by mass-ratio-reversal systems, with rates varying by a factor of six.
Simulations identify black hole-giant collisions as the main formation channel for ultracompact black hole-white dwarf binaries in globular clusters, with mock catalogs suggesting order-one LISA-detectable sources in the Milky Way.
Depositing stellar luminosity in an inner shell and cooling low-density outer cells produces a stable pulsating 3D red supergiant model for common envelope simulations without relaxation.
Simulations show that intermediate-mass progenitors with non-degenerate cores before helium burning produce a mass-orbital period relation for massive white dwarfs that accounts for long-period systems.
